Among the many new and precious
things that have broken out from Gods
Word through the late revision. is the
clearer vision we get Of the consola-
tons which come not from men
but directly from God. The
searching question of Jobs friend. the
sage of Teman, was never more peni-
tent than now; care the consultations
of God too small for thee? and the
word that dealeth gently with thee?''
If they have proved more than suffi-
cient for so many others. ought they to
be accounted too small for you? There
is nothing harshly grating upon the
sensitive ear of the afflicted in that now
doubly precious Word. On every page
it dealeth gently with thee. As truly
and as sweetly as ever a fond
mother folded her loved and low
ing child in her arms. SO sweetiy
does God place beneath us his ev-
erlasting arms and we are at rest. He
whispers gently to us and we love to
listen. He takes these puny, helpless
hands of ours in his strong hand, and
we are content to be led by Him. Who
of us is competent to hold any contro.
versy with the all-wise and compassion
ate God? Men say: Blessed are the
living" God says: BLESSED are the
dead, who die in the Lord" Men call
the proud happy, and think the gay
and thoughtless are to be envied. God
says: BLESSED are they that mourn.
for they shall be comforted. "-EH Cor
Wii,, d. d., in Adrance.

RELIGIOUS READING.
THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN.

Life changes all our thoughts Of Heaven;
At first we think of streets Of gold,
OF walls as white as snow, wind-driven.
OF lofty arches, grandly cold,
OF gates Of pearl and dazzling light,
OF shining wings and robes of white.
And things all strange to mortal sight.
But in the afterward OF years
1t is a more familiar place;
A home unhurt by signs and tears
Where waiteth many a wellknown face;
Where little children play and sing,
Where maidens and the old men bring
Their tributes TO the gracious King.
With passing months it comes more near,
1t grows more real day by day;
Not strange or cold, but very dear,
The glad homeland not far away.
Where no sea tOucheth, making moan,
Where none are poor, or sick, or lone,
The place where We shall find our own!
And as we think Of all we knew.
Who there have met and parted no more
Our longing hearts desire home, too,
With all the strife and trouble DER.
So poor the world, now they have gone,
We scarcely care to think upon
The years before our rest is won.
And yet our Father knoweth best
The lot of sadness that We need,
The time when We may take our rest,
And be from sin and sorrow freed.
So we will wait, with patient grace,
Till in that blessed gathering place
We meet our friends and see His face.

WELL-SPENT TIME.

The Secret OF spending Moments PrOht8-
bly, Is to COnsecrate Them to God.
To the question ''How can we save
time?" answer: "By putting it to the
best use. What is the best use of time
is determined by life's aim. We are
not meant to live here always. This
world is only a scene of preparation
for another. God has revealed himself
as our true end, and his service as our
true occupation. The best use of time,
then. is that use of it which subjects it
wholly to God The true preparation
for eternity is the development of such
a character as will fit us for the
blessedness and activities of eternity,
and right living here is the best prepa-
ration for hereafter. To this develop
ment all our days and all our occupa-
tons may be tributary. We are under
obligation both to do and become that
which is good. Whatever hinders this
is an evil. If our daily toll works harm
to character it is an abuse of time. Set
ting it clearly before us that our true
aim is to rise toward God in knowledge
and purity and benevolence and power,
we must see that the best, the only
right, use of time is such use as shall
promote this upward progress. We are
to seek for knowledge and skill. that
we may be fit for the highest work. and
we are to do that which is good with a
consciousness that all good action, how
ever humble, is both true service to
God and means of true advancement
to ourselves. Time that is thus con-
secrated to Il godly purpose can not be
wasted. Whatever is right in thought
or action, whatever is done
to help our fellow-men toward
goodness, whatever toll makes life mild
er, and sorrow less bitter, and evil less
prevalent, is true saving of time.
The rest which restores our exhausted
strength, the recreation that freshens
our jaded fculties. the meditation that
fruetifies the soul with pure and elevated
thoughts. the determination that lets
us into a true knowledge of ourselves
all this puts time to profitable use. If
our aim in life be right we shall not want
for opportunity to use we'll all the time
God gives us. There is much to do. The
progress of civilization continually
opens up new channels for worthy
activity. The wants and sorrows of
those about us furnish wide field for
benefcent effort. The multitudinous
tasks which come to every one afford
occasion for right and blessed labor.
When we think of what we may do
and be for God, how valuable time be-
comes to us, and how short it seems
While all of us have time for living
we'll. none of us have time to waste 1t
is lesson we are slow in learning:
how rightly to appreciate time Espec-
ally is this true of the young. To the
eager, restless. dreamful heart Of youth,
the years to come seem ages. but to the
heart worn with many tolls the years
are winged and swift. In youth We are
prone to be prodigal of time. but
Youth is not rich in time it may be poor;
Part with it as with money, sparing; pay
Ne moment, but in purchase Of its worth.
Time spent in living well is time
saved.-Rer. Philip S. Moron.

AGED BEAUTIES.
Hlstoeieal Wo0sa Who Weeo IAseanA&anG
Though Not YoaAg.

HlGe093eal W0Doa Who Were 1AoeanoeaA8
Though Not YoaAg.
History is full of the accounts OF the
fascination of women who were no
longer young. Thus. Helen of Troy
was over forty when she perpetrated
the most famous elopemert on record.
and as the siege of Troy lasted de-
cade she could not have been very
juvenile when the ill-fortune of Paris
restored her to her husband. who is re-
ported to have received her with UNI
questioning love and gratitude. Peri
cles welded Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet she afterwards, for
thirty years or more. welded an undi-
minished reputation for beauty. Cleo
patra was past thirty when Antony fell
under her spell, which never lessened
until her death, nearly ten years after;
and Livia was thirty-three when she
won the heart of Augustus, over whom
she maintained her ascendancy to the
last.
Turning to more modern history.
where it is possible to verify dates more
accurately, we have the extraordinary
De Poictiers, who was thirty-six when
Henry u.-then Duke of Orleans, and
just half her age-became attached to
her, and she was held as the first lady
and the most beautiful woman at court
up to the period of the monarch's death
and the accession to power of Cath
crime de Medicis.
Anne of Austria was thirty-eigh
when she was described as the hand
soonest Queen of Europe and when
Buckingham and Richelieu were jeal-
Gus admirers.
Ninon de lEnclos, the most cele-
brated wit and beauty of the day, was
the idol of three generations of the
golden youth of France, and she
was seventy-twO when the Able de
Berais fell in love with her. True it is
that in the case of this lady rare COM
bination of culture, talents and personal
attractions endowed their possessor
seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth. Louis XIV. married Nine. de
Maintenon when she was forty-three
years of age. Catherine II. of Russia
was thirty-three when she seized the
empire of Russia and captivated the
dashing young General Orloff. Up to
the time of her death-at sixty-seven-
she seemed to have retained the same
bewitching powers. for the lamenta-
tons were heartfelt among all those
who had ever known her personally.
Mile. Mars, the celebrated French
tragedienne, only attained the zenith
of her beauty and power between forty
and forty-fve. At that period the
loneliness of her hands and arms espe-
cially were celebrated throughout
Europe. The famous Nine. Recamier
was thirty-eight when Barras was
ousted from power, and she was with
out dispute declared to be the most
beautiful woman in Europe. which
rank she held or fifteen years.-Ameri-
can Register.
